Only half a century later, this would have been next to unthinkable. In this book, the disappearance of Moll, and her supercession in the annals of literary female offenders by heroines like Tess, serve as a metaphor for fundamental changes in ideas of selfhood, gender and social order in 18th and 19th Century England. Drawing on law, literature, philosophy, and social history, Nicola Lacey argues that these broad changes underpinned a radical shift in mechanisms of responsibility, attribution, with decisive implications for the criminalization of women." "Lacey examines how the treatment and understanding of female criminality was changing during the era which saw the construction of the main building blocks of the modern criminal process, and shows how these understandings related in turn to broader ideas about gender, social order, and individual agency. The book tells the story of the shifting relationship between informal codes of norms such as the 'culture of sensibility' and the formal system of criminal justice, and of the impact on women and on understandings of femininity of these complementary systems of discipline. By drawing on a wide variety of sources, it casts light into corners which remain obscure in accounts informed by a single discipline."-- Book jacket. 650 0 $a Feminist jurisprudence. 650 0 $a Women $x Social aspects. $x Social aspects. 650 0 $a Reputation (Law) 650 0 $a Criminal liability. 856 41 $3 Table of contents only $u http://www.loc.gov/catdir/toc/ecip0821/2008025732.html 941 $a 3 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180125063520.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160825032258.0 952 $l N3AX771 $d 20090708133753.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=56FFF06E6C0811DEA13FF332A8D7520A 994 $a 02 $b IOJInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
